“Tickets sales have been strong over the past few weeks. There are only a limited number of premier admission tickets remaining and we have also sold out in our Premier restaurant and Tecom Lounge, with limited availability in our Paddock Restaurant.

“If you are new to racing, we encourage you to celebrate a Sussex tradition with friends and family this festive period and enjoy an afternoon of exciting jumps racing at Fontwell Park.”

Along with seven races – the first of which is off at 12.20pm – the big screen facing the stands will show the day’s race from Kempton Park, the King George VI.

There will be a wide range of children’s entertainment including fun fair rides, face painters and a kids’ club zone – and as usual, children get into the venue free.

Free parking will be available in the centre of the racecourse for this fixture only. It’s also free in the main car park.

Come and experience the excitement of jump racing with a range of food and bar outlets, betting facilities and fantastic hospitality options.

Racegoers can save money if they book in advance with tickets from just £15 if pre-booked by 3pm on Christmas Day.
